trying to replace wrestlers in 2k17

[zhigge]

has anyone been successful in doing this for the 360? I tried the method from last year updating the arc but for some reason i still get errors.

Open the pac file,

injected the file into dummy pac from 14

found the size and offset values listed via xpacker17.

Then found these values inside the arc file.

replace the values

load and the game crashes.

Happens on PS3 as well.... so far not managed to find a way...

[zhigge]

thanks taker. i will just turn intros off

I have this working now on PS3, with intros swapped Rock out with William Regal as a test and it worked a charm. I'm working on a guide, plus I want to run further tests.

[zhigge]

how about that.. so is it the entrance pacs are listed in more than one place?

[UndertakerWLF]

not at all, basically there is a def file in the GAME folder that needs adjusting as well, I will release more info in the next few days.

Ok can't wait. Hopefully this is the case on the 360 as well.

Huh. Definitely interested in hearing about this. Haven't gotten around to doing much with 2K17 just yet, but I'm close. Noticed in 2K16, though, that replacing any PACHs of entrance attires caused the game to crash even if the arcs were updated and you everything right. Never did understand why--drove me up a wall. Looking through the files of both the 360 and PS3 versions, I'm only seeing the same two standard def files as there's always been, but if this issue carried on into 2K17 and you have the solution, I am all ears.

Any possible updates on this, @UndertakerWLF?

not yet.. i hope something breaks. i cant believe 2k would have went out of their way to screw the old gen, but allow modding on the pc..

Yeah, it sucks. Not seeing anything close to another def file, like UndertakerWLF was mentioning, beyond the typical two with the arc files in either the 360 or PS3 version's files either.

@UndertakerWLF hey did you ever get around to writing the tutorial for this process. Since this is the last game might as well get use to it.
